Cloroformene

Overview

Cloroformene is a reactive chloro-organic vapor that combines anesthetic and corrosive properties. It was first detected in decaying industrial atmospheres of abandoned PermianLike worlds, where divine chemistry met mortal carelessness. Cloroformene blurs the line between dream and decay — a narcotic haze of forgetfulness.

Physical and Psionic Properties

The vapor contains chlorinated carbon chains bound by psionic radicals, making it both hallucinogenic and corrosive. It disrupts synaptic firing patterns, inducing pleasant dissociation followed by cellular corrosion. In psionic fields, it can serve as a stabilizer for dream-state transitions — at a cost.

Phases

• **Gas:** Volatile, narcotic, corrosive.
• **Liquid:** Condensed anesthetic used in restricted Continuum medicine.
• **Residue:** Sticky chlorocarbon film, toxic and persistent.

Uses and Occurrences

• Forbidden anesthetic and ritual sedative.
• Found in decayed PermianLike and Eclipsite biospheres.
• Component in early psionic vivisection technology.

Trivia

• “Mercy Gas” in ancient records — named for its gentle killing.
• Emits faint green light when inhaled by divine entities, as if protesting.
